Griselda Lyrics in English by Dr. Yaro
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Griselda by Dr. Yaro from French to English.
Je t'ai surnommée 'la madrina'
I nicknamed you 'the godmother'
Comme Griselda de Bogotá
Like Griselda from Bogotá
La go fait trembler tous les cartels
The girl makes all the cartels tremble
Fallait pas chercher si tu voulais pas
You shouldn't have looked if you didn't want to
Dégâts à cause des go
Damage because of the girls
Dégâts à cause des go
Damage because of the girls
Dé-, dégâts à cause des go
Da-, damage because of the girls
Oui
Yes
J'avance in the shadows
I move forward in the shadows
Toi, tu fais la cité, mais c'est faux
You act like you run the city, but it's fake
Me prends pas pour un flocko
Don't take me for a fool
Moi, j'ai le mojo
I have the mojo
En un coup d'bigo, elle savait
With one call, she knew
Suffisait d'dire 'mi linda, besame'
It was enough to say 'my beautiful, kiss me'
Les javons tèj' leurs pièces en l'air
The guys throw their money in the air
Mais y a pas besoin d'ça pour t'impressionner
But there's no need for that to impress you
Je t'ai surnommée 'la madrina'
I nicknamed you 'the godmother'
Comme Griselda de Bogotá
Like Griselda from Bogotá
La go fait trembler tous les cartels
The girl makes all the cartels tremble
Fallait pas chercher si tu voulais pas
You shouldn't have looked if you didn't want to
Dégâts à cause des go
Damage because of the girls
Dégâts à cause des go
Damage because of the girls
Dé-, dégâts à cause des go
Da-, damage because of the girls
Oui
Yes
Pare-balles sous le manteau
Bulletproof vest under the coat
Cœur de glace comme Elemento
Heart of ice like Elemento
Elle est trop matrixée, la go
The girl is too matrixed
Elle a dit à personne pour toucher l'magot
She told nobody to get the loot
À vos marques, position, ouais
On your marks, get set, yeah
Sans elle, je n'vois pas, pas, pas, pas, pas
Without her, I don't see, see, see, see, see
Elle est comme les feux d'position, ouais
She's like the position lights, yeah
Tu t'y attendais pas, pas, pas, pas, pas
You didn't expect it, it, it, it, it
Ça fait déjà douze fois
It's already been twelve times
Qu'un gars d'ici la déçoit
That a guy from here disappoints her
J'vais pas t'en faire un dessin
I'm not going to spell it out for you
Allez, laisse ça
Come on, leave that
Il en faut plus pour dead ça
It takes more to end that
Il en faut plus pour l'impressionner
It takes more to impress her
Je t'ai surnommée 'la madrina'
I nicknamed you 'the godmother'
Comme Griselda de Bogotá
Like Griselda from Bogotá
La go fait trembler tous les cartels
The girl makes all the cartels tremble
Fallait pas chercher si tu voulais pas
You shouldn't have looked if you didn't want to
Dégâts à cause des go
Damage because of the girls
Dégâts à cause des go
Damage because of the girls
Dé-, dégâts à cause des go
Da-, damage because of the girls
Oui
Yes

Did you like this lyrics translation?
madrina — godmother / godmother (crime boss)
Madrina literally translates to "godmother." While it can refer to a traditional godmother, in the context of this song, it takes on a much more intriguing and powerful meaning.
In the lyrics, the artist refers to a woman as "la madrina" in the same breath as "Griselda de Bogotá," referencing Griselda Blanco, a notorious Colombian drug lord known as the "Godmother of Cocaine." This implies the woman in the song is a formidable, influential, and perhaps dangerous figure, making the word far more captivating than its literal translation.
